  1. Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo never meet...

    Okay many of my started discussions have turned into dead ends. This I'm hoping will last quiet a while.... The Beatles never form. I figure it's a contest between The Rolling Stones and The Who... But lets not forget: Led Zeppelin, Gerry & the Pacemakers, The Animals, Hermans Hermits, The...

  2. No Twenty-second Amendment for presidental terms

    This has been done before, but I though I put in my 2 cents in predicting if no 22nd amendment would alter timeline since Reagan's election in 1980. Ronald Reagan - advanced age 77 in 1988 + early stages of dementia. He wouldn't run for 3rd term. George HW Bush was defeated by Bill Clinton...

  3. JFK falls in Jackie's lap after 1st shot.

    Yet another analogy of JFK surviving assassination on Nov 22 1963. After getting shot in neck he collapses into Jackie lap; raises his hand asking Jackie to tell Agent Greer to speed up; which he immediately does heading for Parkland hospital. After a close call, doctors managed to save...

  4. 1983 Nuke Apocalypse: Jimmy Carter - President of Dixie Republic?

    Suppose the 1983 nuclear close call went full scale and the USA was destroyed. Jimmy Carter could become president just 2 1/2 years after leaving office albiet a much smaller fractured country......lets say the Republic of Dixieland.... Wait....this discussion forum has been done before right?

  5. Perot stays out of 1992 election.

    Conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter has repeatedly said only reason Bill Clinton won the 1992 election was because of Ross Perot. A more plausible result would be a closer election like 1976 but Clinton still wins....

  6. Michael Dutton Douglas lives - impact on JFK shooting?

    Suppose Michael Dutton Douglas had not been killed after being accidently hit by future First Lady Laura Bush, just 2 weeks before JFK's assassination. Yes he was only a high school senior, but had he somehow managed to be in Dallas on Nov 22, how possibly could he be involved in preventing...

  7. GOP Presidential nominee Ron Paul dies in October...

    With John McCain's nomination in 2008 ( he was 72) and now Ron Paul still having solid support ( He is 76 I believe) one has to wonder suppose a Presidential nominee in their mid-seventies or having major health problems died late in the campaign (around Late September or early October.) What...

  8. 1951: The argument heard round the country...

    It is well known Joe Kennedy Sr. pushed hard in 1951 for JFK to run for Senate and pave the way for the presidency... The recent drama "The Kennedys" portrayed Joe Kennedy as someone who would never take no for an answer and who had temper flare-ups when someone argued against him. Suppose...

  9. Diana and Charles never meet...

    Suppose Diana Spencer had never met Charles, Prince of Wales, No voracious ravages of the paparazzi, no horrific crash in Paris...... I guess things in light of yesterday's events would be rather boring???

  10. Marlon Brando turns down "The Godfather"

    Suppose Marlon Brando wasn't interested in being head of a crime family or mafia, so he turns downs the role which goes instead to....who was it Danny Thomas?

  11. Alternate Seven Years War

    Suppose Quebec had not been conquered by the British in the Seven Years War (1756-1763). Better planning by Montcalm, supply ships from France arrive sooner, etc. What impact on The American Revolution and our own history would this create?

  12. Truman runs for re-election in 1952

    Suppose Truman had decided to run for re-election in 1952. (Remember although he did serve almost two terms it was FDR who won in 1944, he was still permitted to go for another full term.) Would his firing of Douglas MacArthur doom his chances for re-election? Apparently he did make the right...

  13. A better regulated offshore industry 1990ish-2010

    OK let's say back in the 1990s, Bush Sr. or Clinton pushes for better regulation of offshore drilling. Odds of it succeeding is probably slim due to regulators being "cozy" with Big Oil but suppose it does succeed, the current castastrophe would probably be prevented?

  14. Britain and US stay bitter enemies

    After the Revolutionary War many decades past before Britain and us finally buried the hatchet and became close allies. After 9/11 President Bush even proclaimed "America has no trueer friend than Britain". (Under tremendous stress from 9/11 tragedy Bush forgot that Canada took in more...

  15. 2000 election: McCain wins SC primary...

    South Carolina was George W Bush's big comeback after losing NH to McCain. Suppose McCain had won big in SC plus a few more upsets....would it look more like the 2008 close Democratic nomination race between Obama and Hillary? Supposing Bush still gets the nomination.....more pressure to...

  17. What if military defied Bush orders to invade Iraq?

    It is a hard fact that the president is the Commander-in-chief of the US miltary and any order he gives must be followed. But suppose lacking hard evidence that Saddam actually had WMDs, the military refused to act on his orders?

  18. Nixon's "smoking gun" tapes are lost...

    Suppose the taping of President Nixon telling Haldeman to direct the FBI away from Watergate by using the CIA as a cover, the so called "Smoking gun tape" is lost... Would Nixon still be found liable and forced to resign...or would he somehow be saved?

  20. Cheney has heart attack/quits as VP after 2004 election

    Suppose Cheney has a massive heart attack right after being re-elected and decided not to serve another term. Powell was out as Sec State...don't think he would be interested as Bush's VP... Condi Rice...maybe but she would rather be Sec State... This opens the door for Joe Lieberman who...
